Arkle/Marsh/RSA/NH Chase - Novice Chasers 2021 (new)

[darlojim]

You are a hard task master. I thought it was a super round of jumping for a first time Novice. Made just 1 'error' where he got low 4 out but other than that he was foot perfect. Plenty left in the tank at the end as well. Nice start and has put down a marker for Shiskin and co.

I only said he was chancy at a few? the mistake 4 out like you say and he reached at the last? Does that not make him chancy at a few? I didnt say he fiddled his way all the way round. He was outjumped by the 2nd horse early on but improved as the pace picked up and the race went on, which is exactly what i wrote?

FD looked to travel much more settled today, he is going to be a really interesting recruit to novice chasing this season.

Jumped well enough for a novice, first time out, didn’t have to lead, he let the runner-up go past at one point.

I don’t think he looked a runaway on today’s evidence.

You'd hope he had plenty left in the tank, second was rated exactly 100

Interesting that Patrick Mullins actually name drops The Big Getaway as the one he hopes in the NH CHase ride.
Does also say he could easily end up in the RSA with Monkfish too though...


....and also goes on to SLAM Willie's campaigning of horses with regards to the NH Chase.

Decent chasing debut - nothing flashy, a bit awkward at one or two fences but he got the job done with the minimum of fuss.

He's obviously over that nasty fall at Galway and at the very least this keeps him in the mix for the Arkle.

Great call at 40-1 Saxon. It's gonna be fun watching him (hopefully) progress.

Ive requested L’air Du Vent for the NH chase..i think hes got alot of class and built well..looks like he could be a really good staying chaser

Soz, perhaps I was a little harsh. I take it back.

I'd be happy with TBG in the NHC. Would easily be the highest rated and would make the RAB top 4 with PTKO look even better ! Mullins has a hell of a lot of juggling to do. Nice problem to have though.

Early Doors is made for this race

Yeah very possibly, I backed him for it last season anyway

[7barrows]

Has shishkin been confirmed chasing yet. Any rumours where he might make is chase debut ?

[Ray]

My bet would be kempton november in a novice chase..or failing that the henry viii novice chase in december!

No and no.

[Lobos]

No mention from Patrick re Aione for the NHC. Just that he hoped TBG would go that route. Monkfish in the RSA sounds a cert though

Kennedy said: “All he had to do was jump round really and he put in a brilliant round of jumping. He was a little bit long at the last down the back, but other than that he was brilliant.

“He is unbelievable over a fence so he’ll be exciting going back into better races again.”

Elliott, by telephone, added: “That was great and I’m delighted with him.

“There is a graded race next week, but that will come too soon and he will probably be aimed at the Craddockstown Novice Chase at Punchestown in November.”
